Chapter 183: Han State Intelligence
Chen Kong's words can be described as a great rebellion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info bluntly said that if the Han State did not support it, he would turn against the Han State and take refuge in other institutes. This is easy to say about Chen Kong, who is himself a bandit leader, at least the sergeants under his command are all selected by the guys of the third sect and the ninth rank, but there is really no loyalty. And Jiang Shaoxin is different, this is a loyal minister who grew up in the Han Kingdom since he was a child, if he is allowed to rebel against the Han Kingdom, he will not agree in his heart.
"Lao Chen, if you are serious about what you say, I can't sit idly by!" Jiang Shaoxin's eyes became sinister, and he reached out to hold the knife, "What I said is also the border army general of the Han Kingdom, and I can't tolerate your rebellion." ”
"I didn't mean if. Chen Kong rolled his eyes, "You have a rigid character, what do you take to compete with the famous generals of the Chu State." Such a good opportunity must be let go in vain, are you still the border guard general of the Han Kingdom?"
Jiang Shaoxin didn't pay any attention to Chen Kong's sarcasm, just stared at the other party with a rather cold face. Chen Kong was a little annoyed, this Jiang Shaoxin said that it was good, but his personality was a little rigid, and he was not a person who was good at words, so naturally Jiang Shaoxin who couldn't say anything agreed to his plan.
The two were in a stalemate, and a captain suddenly walked in from outside, and said to Jiang Shaoxin: "Report to the general, there is an envoy from the Xia Kingdom outside asking to see you." ”
"Envoy of Xia Kingdom?" Chen Kong and Jiang Shaoxin were stunned at the same time, not understanding what the Xia Kingdom was going to do at this juncture. Could it be that the Xia side also saw the weakness of Han Hu's side and wanted to cooperate with the Han border army to occupy the garrison camp of the Xia Han Hu border army together?
Chen Kong was a little secretly vigilant in his heart, two monks have water to drink, but three monks may not be. This itself is rich in the Han Hu army, but there is only so much land and money and food, if you add Jiang Shaoxin's side, it can just be divided. But Xia Guo was involved, and Chen Kong was a little bottomless.
Jiang Shaoxin thought about it for a while, and didn't dare to snub Xia Guo's envoy, so he immediately arranged for someone to lead the other party in.
As soon as the envoy of the Xia Kingdom came in, everyone was sluggish again. There is no other reason, this is not an official in Xia Guo's regular face, but a woman, and a beautiful and tall woman.
This person is Xue Yan.
Xueyan received a message from Egret three days ago, and arrived at the border pass of the Han Kingdom non-stop, without stopping at all, she came directly to Jiang Shaoxin, the border general. The reason why she volunteered was also because Xue Yan herself had a private relationship with General Jiang Shaoxin.
"Xue Yan meets General Jiang. Xue Yan walked into the big tent and bowed deeply. Jiang Shaoxin reacted at this time, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help.
"Xueyan's niece, why are you here?!" Jiang Shaoxin was surprised, since the last time he met Xueyan, it was seven or eight years ago. Looking at a large number of past, Xueyan has grown up a little, but the overall change is not much, but it is recognizable to him at a glance.
"General Jiang. Xue Yan smiled slightly, "Xue Yan came thousands of miles to find Uncle Jiang, naturally not to catch up with the past. Now Xia Guan Tian is the secret guard of the Xia Kingdom, and he is also the intelligence officer of the army in the south of the town. I came to Uncle Jiang this time, but I came here specifically for you. ”
"Help me?" Jiang Shaoxin glanced at Xue Yan inexplicably, "Good niece, I haven't seen you in the past few years, why are you so brainless when you talk." Our border army has been war-free for many years, and Han Hu of Chu is a timid and fearful person, and he has never taken the initiative to lead a war, so how can I say that there is a crisis on my side?"
Xue Yan looked around and smiled faintly.
"Uncle Jiang, I recently heard that the lord of the Han State has issued an order to let the Han State not move the border troops without permission, but is it true?"
"This. Jiang Shaoxin looked at Xue Yan with some embarrassment, but didn't dare to answer immediately. However, Chen Kong on the side had no scruples, and opened his mouth directly: "What order can the dead fat man of the Han Kingdom give is nothing more than to be a turtle with a shrunken head." This is not surprising at all. ”
Xue Yan turned her head to look at Chen Kong, "This is Lord Chen Kong, the city commander of Wolf Narrow County, is it really the same as rumored, he is a wonderful person." ”
"But since Lord Chen told the truth, I also have information to tell Uncle Jiang. The State of Chu has recently mobilized 40,000 troops from the Daming Mansion, plus more than 50,000 troops from the Yulong Pass of the State of Chu.
"What did you say?" Jiang Shaoxin and Chen Kong called out almost at the same time, "Chu sent troops to Hanguan?"
As soon as Chen Kong's mind turned, he retorted. "Wait, you girl isn't talking nonsense! This Chu State only lost 100,000 border troops before, and it was still flooded by a wave of floods in your Xia Kingdom. Why is it that this Chu State sent troops to target the border passes of our Han Kingdom? If you want to fight it, it is also to fight the border passes of your Xia Kingdom, what does it have to do with us here?"
"Yes, niece Xue, have you mistaken the information? This Chu State has been fighting against the southern border pass of your Han Kingdom Town before, this is the border pass to send troops, and its purpose cannot be our Han Pass, which is completely unreasonable. ”
Jiang Shaoxin also responded, he didn't believe that the Chu State had dispatched such a large army to attack their unrelated Han Pass.
"I know it's hard to trust the two of you just by relying on intelligence. Without evidence, no one would believe that the troops of the Chu State would come to fight at the Han Pass. However, to say that the Daming Mansion and the Guannei Army are going to attack the border pass of our Xia Kingdom, it is indeed not. This army, if it is coming directly to the border pass of our Xia Kingdom, then the other party's marching route will inevitably choose to take the waterway and go straight to where the military camp by the Li Hai border was located. That is, the two military towns of Xia Changkou and Luohe, but this army did not go this way, but through the land, obliquely out of the Yulong Pass, and took the horse road, towards the corridor of the Han border army. If the other party did not go to Han Hu's military camp, why did he choose such a detouring route?
Xue Yan slowly introduced the situation.
"Is the other party taking the horse road?" Jiang Shaoxin's face was startled, and he was a little uncertain. "Where did you get this news from?
"My news may be wrong, but the scouts of the Han Kingdom itself can't be wrong. Xue Yan smiled slightly, "If Uncle Jiang is suspicious, he might as well send someone to the Han Military Aircraft Camp to ask." Not to mention that the Han State did not establish an intelligence organization in the Chu State, your conquest time is longer than the establishment of Zhennan Pass, and the intelligence of the Chu State's march will not be ignorant. ”
As soon as he said this, Jiang Shaoxin believed most of it. The Xia Kingdom itself would not have sent a messenger to open the river, let alone such a military event.
But if the state of Chu really sent an army to attack the Han Pass, what reason is there for such an action?
